The main body is a square with bay window columns on each side for balance and light. The Doric-inspired columns, corner boards, and front porch reflect the Colonial style. Elements of the Craftsman style include the overhanging eaves and exposed rafter tails. The two styles carry throughout the interior. Decorative oak accents, a reception hall, and pocket doors continue the Colonial theme while wide, inviting entries suggest the Craftsman style’s aim of harmony with nature. The home was built for Agnes Foster, whose husband, Dr. Henry W. Foster, was a prominent physician and Bozeman mayor. Later their daughter Myrtle Steffens and her husband Claude lived in the house. Roland R. Renne, Montana State College (University) President, and prominent businessman Carl Lehrkind were also owners. In 1987, the movie Amazing Grace and Chuck, starring Gregory Peck and Jamie Lee Curtis, featured the residence. In 1999, restoration efforts earned the home Bozeman’s Historic Preservation Award.","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"Private","lede":"","website":"","related_resources":["<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/bff6b0be-3d3a-4160-a317-f43b99605c8c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read about the Bon Ton Historic District</a>","<a href=\"https://npgallery.nps.gov/NRHP/GetAsset/15e69ee5-fe11-4539-9a00-4e84f357ecc0/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See photos of the Bon Ton Historic District</a>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/5dff137adc96b3def52742710d4dcac3.jpg":{"id":6678,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"610 South Willson Avenue","description":"View of facade, facing east.  | Montana Historical Society | July 2026 | Arizona Duff","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/5dff137adc96b3def52742710d4dcac3.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/59e6fa66668cab6cf2c6f21da1642314.jpg":{"id":6677,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"610 South Willson Avenue","description":"Front to side view of the house, facing southeast on South Willson Avenue. | Montana Historical Society | July 2026 | Arizona Duff","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/59e6fa66668cab6cf2c6f21da1642314.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/fullsize/fab2de2381f5d7775cb3b842de69d3a9.jpg":{"id":3869,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"610 South Willson Avenue","description":"Front to side view of the house, facing southeast on South Willson Avenue. | Montana State Historic Preservation Office | Apr. 1983 | Mary Kay Peck","alt":"alt=&quot;&quot;","thumbnail":"https://historicmt.org/files/square_thumbnails/fab2de2381f5d7775cb3b842de69d3a9.jpg"},"https://historicmt.org/files/original/c0cfdc6d35c4da26dcc3f45ec7c0cb51.pdf":{"id":6738,"mime-type":"application/pdf","title":"Bon Ton Historic District","description":"Nomination Documentation.
